Watching this only reinforces that we let some adults who actually have a plan take over and see if we can dig out of this recession pit.

I didn’t like McLame’s intro about hoping that he would be addressing the audience in a different capacity (i.e. as preezy), but he has recovered nicely by HAMMERING Obumphuk’s leadership and foreign policy FAILURES.

It’s hilarious observing troll activity on sites today.

They’re displaying typical adolescent frustration and fury in reaction to the MSM-Yahoo meltdown fiasco as we saw in earlier threads with ‘anonymous’.

They’re also clinging with desperation to their phantom “Republicans threw peanuts at a black woman” fable with boilerplate word-for-word copy and paste posts on just about every conservative site.

+9

Tonight’s early speakers are such a letdown after last night.

I’ve never heard Cathy McMorris Rogers (from my state). I wish these guys wouldn’t speak from a teleprompter. It’s so stilted and I dislike the contrived pauses for applause.

I know they have to pander to women in order to be heard by the Left’s Stockholmers, but I don’t like the nod to separate voting blocs, it’s not in my tea party dna.

I hope Ryan doesn’t wear out his “debt, doubt and decline” rhetoric. Please dear God, don’t let the pols dumb this down.

Sam Olens is a bit of a schleppy dandy, no?

And with Pami Bondi, this seems like an SNL skit.

@bfh

i was thinking same thing. jon lovitz clone.

+1

Yeah, that Bondi-Olens duo was, well…..pretty lame.

+2

I tell ya, I don’t think I can take another speech about what’s wrong with barry — like we don’t know, already! I think that’s why Christy’s speech was a barn burner last night. Maybe Thune will catch a wave.

+2

the sd guy has a don draper do going on.

+1

Bondi/Olens was like an Academy Award set up, the only thing missing was the giggling in between each statement.

Bondi’s a little chunkier than I thought. And their speech sounded like college sophomores.

McCain looked OLD, like he was going to topple at any minute.

Does it seem to anyone else that in order to have cred in politics anymore you have to be just off the boat? How many of these speakers were the first ones in their family to graduate from college? I sorta don’t like the show of familial humility coming from (mostly) people who have a congressional healthcare plan and pension. I think they should have showed clips from “The Hope and the Change” instead of these oddball musicians.

(I shouldn’t write any more today — I’m in an impatient mood.)

@AbigailAdams: “I tell ya, I don’t think I can take another speech about what’s wrong with barry — like we don’t know, already!”

Of course *we* know. It’s the speakers who are just learning that perhaps Ivy League creds and a really awesome pants crease are not *necessarily* the very best indicators that someone would be a person whose presidency “we should not fear”.

The realization by the elite of an elite-on-elite betrayal is such a painful thing to watch, in no small part because it was so damn obvious to us proles.

+6

ahhhhhhhhhhh timmy p. coming on.

Caught up. Pawlenty is speaking.

Thank goodness Romney went with fire instead of milquetoast for the VP pick.

Say, this band is pretty good once they got that dang hairy womern out of the way. Great sax.

I want to see Sarah speak. Then I want to see Newt speak.

+7

he had some great lines.

“all people fail at their first job”

+3

The lines are good he just can’t deliver them. Lousy speaker.

Huckabee is thankful he followed Palenty. So far he isn’t doing much for me either.

+3

Well, no adrenalin here. Will be back for Ryan.

+4

Yep, Pawlenty and Huckabee (following McCain) are “yawn” moments as the old guard gets recognition.

Thank goodness for the “new guard” of the Republican party. We have a great future!!!!

+4

Huckabee is getting better.

+2

@Huckabee is so lame…why is he there?

He just referred to Ann Romney’s “speech on MONDAY night”!
Idiot!
Monday’s events were cancelled because of the weather, so she didn’t speak until LAST night.
He didn’t even update his speech. Pitiful!

I’ve got the sound muted until Ryan comes on.

+8

@Roscoe — Great point — hadn’t thought of it that way. Thanks.

@Plain Jane — Me too.

+3

I wasn’t much looking forward to Huckabee…but he’s doing pretty good. Saying stuff I was expecting Christie to say last night. Some red meat, eh?

+5

Listening to Huck is like hearing that song you hate on the radio – you can be grateful it’s on because that means it will be a while before you’ll have to listen to it again.

I just hope he left the guitar at home.

+6

Huckster- Don’t tell me about Bone-O.

Tell me about your great Chick-Fil-A Day idea, your only accomplishment in four years!

Huckabee laid the smack down. And the music rocks!

Am disappointed that Huck got such a prime spot.

Thinking some of last night’s speakers would have been better for tonight — like Nikki Haley, Artur Davis, Mia Love, etc.

Condi is coming on stage!!!!!

+4

I love Condi!!!

+4

@illustr8r — we’re watching CSPAN. No pundit comments. Nice.

+5

Condi is great!

+5

everyone is listening to condi.
great question she posed

“where does america stand?”
“we do not have a choice…you cannot lead from behind.”

+5

Did anybody else notice that she was sitting with Mitt and Ann after Ann’s great speech last night?

+7

Clear, concise, business like and ever a professional. Rock on Condi!

+8

So far, Rice is the only speaker who has not glanced at the TelePrompTers. She’s looking at notes on the podium, a traditionalist!!

+7

(I have Fox on downstairs…I’m working upstairs.)

Condi is grrreat!

America — “what and idea it is. It doesn’t matter where you came from, it matters where you’re going.”

oops — “an idea”

@norm

i saw that last nite. she is fantastic.

Ms. Rice Rocks! She needs to be called back into harness.

Gol-dang I love smart womerns.

WOW! She is absolutely eviscerating BO’s philosophy!

+7

@norman — all she want is to be the NFL Commissioner.

+3

love how she pronounces ally.

+2

I left to go exercise a bit. Listened to Condi on the radio. She had all the adrenalin for the whole previous bunch. Great. Great.

Her momentum gave me the impetus to get the push-ups done quickly.

+3

I will no longer call out my “oops” typos. This is a great night and I’m posting too many comments across the interwebs to worry about oopsies!

+6

@jclady, I know she said that in the past…but why is she here?

Maybe she’ll answer if called.

+3

Finally a speaker that speaks the truth and gets us up.

+4

“This is the civil rights issue of today” Love it!

+5

My God, she’s full of Ronny! (that’s a GOOD thing)

+5

Wow…the conviction of this woman is breathtaking!

Love. Her!

+6

BARN BURNER! GO CONDI!!

+8

wow.
she must have been a force with our enemies.

+9

I’ve been watching her Wiki to see if it’s vandalized – I had wondered why the band played the beginning of Sweet Home Alabama when she walked onto the stage – turns out Condi’s from Birmingham.

Damn that was a great speech.

+9

why do hispanic women pronounce their name with a spanish accent? when they have no accent speaking english.

+9

And God bless Condi Rice.

+7

norman — just my opinion (and you know what they say about opinions!)…

Condi is a true patriot and will rise to any occassion required of her. She has her personal dreams, but if a speech at the convention is required for the salvation of the country she loves, she will willingly comply.

+6

You know, for all hate us Republicans have for women, we sure do have a lot of women in public service.

+8

Condi Rice was was outstanding. Gov. Susana Martinez of N.M. is on now. I like her style. obama “built” the national dept. Waiting for Ryan.

+6

Martinez has mucho testosterone. Great speak.

+5

PAUL RYAN!!!!!!!!!

I thought the same thing Fur!

I’m surprised. Condi’s a tough act to follow, but Martinez was very good.

Perfect intro music for him.

@Freeman — “Jesus”.

Yep.

Chrissy still thinks of demographics in fly-over terms: Ryan didn’t speak to the whole country. Like I said, he’s going to need a whole team of shrinks.

+3

I have to disagree with some others, only Condi was even close to Ronald Reagan. Why did no one else have a message that included America on a world vision? Why did no other speaker have anything to say about how not all America’s problems are internal? How come no one else had vision beyond the borders?

+2

I’m sooo pumped.

+2

Paul Ryan was excellent. Perfect speech all the way. “Look, no teleprompter!” Great bang-up job.

+6

@ Eric

It almost seems that each speaker delivered a message of their specialty. The loudest, strongest voice to deliver the message that Condi delivered was Condi. Ryan delivered what he needed to deliver.

Looks like the speaker organizers did a good job with division of message. Otherwise it would get redundant.

@Eric

Those are good points. Perhaps they wanted to keep the focus internal – that’s where Barry’s weakest areas are. Economy, education, medicare, etc.

@Hippie Critic

Down south we say, “Isn’t that precious?”

It means, “Who gives a shit?”

@HC — I’m so proud of you!

@ plain jane,
The President and Vice President are the chief statesmen of the people of the United States of America. Why should it be difficult, or unheard of, for either of these individuals to speak on matters which the position requires decisions to be made in?

I’m just not seeing any statesmanship from the “ticket”, other than from the one experienced individual tonight who isn’t running for office.

+1

Yes, we have internal problems, and yes they are big. But people, we are talking about more than America paying the bills, we are talking about America leading the world in what life should be like for every living being on earth. Or would the rest of the world rather be run by the Chinese?

This is the subject/prose/focus that SHOULD be the focus of American politics.

Eric, What the hell is your problem. I am glad you are interested in world affairs but give it a break. The speaches were great.

+4

Eric

I get what you mean.

Wonder if she will resume her former role under Romney???

0

@Eric — if you didn’t hear a message of statesmanship from Ryan tonight, then I suggest you go back and re-watch (and listen to) his speech prior to watching and listening to Romney tomorrow night.

+5

Next you will be saying Romney and Ryan lack Gravitas!

+2

I hear Matthews is getting that feel on his leg only this time its urine running down it.

+8

Aw, isn’t Eric precious?

+5

No offense, just stating my opinion.

There’s no need to attack me.

In that light, my original statement was, I didn’t see any international position from anyone speaking tonight, or last night, that was comparable to Reagan, except for Condi Rice, who was brilliant. And that I think there should be more Condi/Reagan in our next President.

+2

@Eric, I only caught half of Condi’s speech and all of Ryan’s. There are threats without, but we’re being so hobbled internally that without addressing those issues – the heart, spirit and will of what is quintessentially American – first (let alone shedding those mechanism place by the current administration that reward dependency), we will be useless to deal with the rest of the world. To me, it’s as if you’re expecting an ailing person to get up and jujitsu the nasty asshole down the hall.

+5

“But the American ideal is indeed endangered today. There is no country, no not even a rising China, that can do more harm to us than we can do to ourselves if we fail to accomplish the tasks before us here at home.” – Condoleezzaa Rice, Convention Stage, 8/29/12

Ya, it’s just that dire.

+7

Best analogy

When a plane decompresses – you put your oxygen mask on first, then you can help everyone else.

+9

Eric, I don’t disagree with you but I do think much of the country cares primarily about problems from within. It would be nice to see someone with the international outlook of Reagen, Thatcher, or Churchill – but the most important thing right now is getting Barry out of office. I think we’ll hear more about foreign policy and international politics as things develop, especially during the debates, where the moderators can be counted on to try and expose that as a weak spot for Romney.

+6

Internal conflicts/strife create internal problems/chaos/destabilization (a house built on sand will not stand).

External conflicts/strife create internal unity/strength/freedom (a house built on rock will stand).

What we do internally is only a question because we are not united as a country against it’s enemies, external, and INTERNAL.

FWIW

Go back in the archives here and note that your pal Chief wanted Mr. Ryan to run for President at least two years ago.

Welcome to the future, my friends. It’s a good one!

+7

My heart is lighter and mind more at ease tonight than it has been for at least 4 years and more.

Excellent comments from the regulars here!

Mr. Hat — Love the shirt idea — so upbeat, so resolved “We Can Do This!” I could just imagine Ryan on the phone w/Romney: “Let’s do this.”

The “it” that Ryan possesses are our better angels. He gave voice to them tonight — he’s a clear channel.

His appeal to ALL Americans to weigh out the choices and make a decision was political brilliance, more than Reaganesque. And he called out the Left, put them “on notice” in an unequivocal move that put them in check with nothing left on the board but a infantile mouthpiece on a cable station with fewer viewers than a margin of error in a NYTs poll.

God in Heaven, keep watch over this man.

+7

The common message I see is, “Elect us, we will save America”, oh, and put Obama out of office.

The message I saw from Condi was, “Save America with R&R, and America will save the world from it’s own self destruction”.

If there isn’t any “world vision” from the next President, or his party, there will be no difference in the world vision of America when he is elected.

+1

@Eric–

“…we are not united as a country against it’s enemies, external, and INTERNAL.”

I do agree with that.

“External conflicts/strife create internal unity/strength/freedom…”

This will never happen, as long as BHO and his minions look upon our allies as enemies, and our enemies as allies.

All I can say is if Thursday’s line up tops what I saw just now, I will have to tie myself to a chair. We will win. Boo is a one term loser. Thank God. I am.

In any event; Let us pray God that there are more Conservative votes than Liberal come November.(and we can overcome the cheating at the ballot box)

BTW ,the lefty sewage dump copy and paste hive is going into Axelturf overdrive hitting Ryan for an alleged “error” that the Janesville,WI closed in 2008 and not in 2009.

It DID close in 2009.

From the 9-19-2011 Milwaukee JS Online:

“The Janesville plant stopped production of SUVs in 2008 and was idled in 2009 after it completed production of medium-duty trucks.”

@Eric –

“….External conflicts/strife create internal unity/strength/freedom……..”

When your “internal” has been so thoroughly gutted – as it has in the last four years – that there isn’t a foundation left to unite, external strife only adds to the problem.

Let’s rebuild our foundation first, all the while keeping an eye out on our enemies abroad.

+2

@Stirrin — Well said. I’d add: When you don’t have it, you don’t have it to give. It’s been so long since there was anyone in the national leadership who was unfettered enough to speak for the rest of us, to encourage us and point the way out. One of the speakers tonight brought up the “light at the end of the tunnel” analogy. As a nation we must first find daylight for ourselves and we can’t really help anyone until that happens.
